About Plug-in Manager

OfficeScan includes a framework called Plug-in Manager that
integrates new solutions into the existing OfficeScan
environment. To help ease the management of these solutions, Plug-in Manager provides
at-a-glance data for the solutions in the form of widgets.

Note:

None of the plug-in solutions currently support IPv6. The server can download these solutions but
is not able to deploy the solutions to pure IPv6 OfficeScan agents or pure IPv6 hosts.

Plug-in Manager delivers the following:

Native Product Features

Some native OfficeScan features are licensed separately and
activated through Plug-in Manager. In this release, two features fall under this
category, namely, Trend Micro Virtual Desktop Support and
OfficeScan Data Protection.

Plug-in programs

Plug-in programs are not part of the OfficeScan program. The plug-in programs have
separate licenses and management consoles. Access the management consoles from
within the OfficeScan web console. Examples of plug-in programs
are Trend Micro OfficeScan ToolBox and
Trend Micro Security (for Mac).

Dashboard tabs and widgets

The OfficeScanDashboard screen requires Plug-in Manager to display the tabs and
widgets used to monitor the OfficeScan server and agent protection status.

This document provides a general overview of plug-in program installation and management and
discusses plug-in program data available in widgets. Refer to specific plug-in program
documentation for details on configuring and managing the program.
